Its an unfortunate symptom of whats its like to work in tech today. As an Engineer, twitter makes me feel guilty for not blogging, tweeting, attending meetups, learn new techniques after I clock out from my day job. Are people really working that hard?

A lot of people around me pretend they are working hard. They either stick around at work till late (taking 6 hours to do the thing that should've taken 3), keep replying to emails from clients/bosses/"ambitious" coworkers no matter the time, and schedule pointless meetings and phone calls. It's all about optics. These people are also the ones who constantly complain about work and how stressful it is.
